The economy is still in the shitter, but sales on doomsday bunkers is FLYING!

So why the hell am I talking about doomsday bunkers?  Hell I don’t know, I saw unusual information criss crossing and coming up over and over again online so Im writing to figure it out a little more.

Maybe there is a 2012 conspiracy… maybe theres an asteroid coming… maybe some crazy rich guy is developing a super virus to ‘cleanse’ the planet.. Maybe a James Bond villain is about to poison our atmosphere so we all have to live under the sea.. I DON’T KNOW FOR SURE.  All I know is that different engineering companies and shelter manufacturers are turning in record sales numbers in the heart of the biggest recession in my life.  SOMETHINGS GOING DOWN!! My moneys on zombie apocalypse.

Hardened Structures of Colorado, Utah Shelter Systems, Radius Engineering in Texas, are just some of the companies manufacturing ‘doomsday shelters and they are all reporting record profits.  People be scared son!

Catastrophes are inevitable.. I wont lie.. an earthquake might turn LA into an island, a hurricane might finish off Louisiana, but these businesses are creating structures meant to survive for years underground.  Its not like, oh hey, I wanna have a cool doomsday structure, im gonna build one… DOESN’T WORK LIKE THAT.  These things can accommodate 5 to 2,000 adults underground for one to five years with power, food, water and filtered air.  It takes serious time, and serious cash ($400,000 to a $50 million) to make these bunkers.

My research kept turning up one particular organization, The Vivos network. The Vivos network is not the only organization offering shelter from the apocalypse, but for some reason the most highly mentioned online.  The network offers something similar to timeshares, except in underground survival land.

Some critics are saying the Vivos network is capitalizing on peoples fear.  Guess what morons?  America is a capitalist country.. Theres a need, and they’re filling the void.   Although their website does show a countdown to December 21^st 2012, or the end of the Mayan Long Count Calendar.  Along with a list of multiple global catastrophes that would require an underground bunker like solar flares, massive volcanoes, asteroids, etc.  Both which made me laugh.  That’s just good marketing!  Let them capitalize on peoples fears and make some money before the world ends.

But I digress, this isn’t about capitalism and banking off peoples fear… Its about doomsday bunkers thriving in sales.  What is doing this!?  Middle class people are too poor, poor people are definitely too poor.. so that leaves the elite upper class.  Why now?  Is the 2012 Mayan crap another Y2K?  or is the apocalypse coming?
